450k per year! I would do that job for 10 years or even 5 years and I would be set for life.

When I was younger I thought that if I ever made what I make now, I would do that job for 10 years and I would be set for life. I've been doing it for more than 10 years now and am not set for life.
Why not? Did you increase your life quality according to your new high salary?
Depending on cost of living that amount doesn't go as far as you might think if you are talking a modest single family home in a decent neighborhood, small family, and an upper middle class lifestyle.
Second this, hoping to make it so this is the case for me (set for life after 10 years) so looking to avoid any pitfalls you can share.
Plot twist: you have to move to Santa Monica (last I checked). Enjoy paying >$4000/mo for a small apartment.
Some teams allow remote from what I've seen on their jobs page.
